You do NOT want to spin a 4cycle engine backwards, the starter is a 12v electric motor and it doesn't care which way it spins. I don't remember which wires go where but you must be getting reverse polarity to the starter, Take the starter belt off and figure out the wiring so it spins the other way before putting the belt back on. Good Luck
